IBM and Nvidia have been awarded $425 million by the US Department of Energy to build two brand-new supercomputers that leverage IBM's Power8 CPUs and Nvidia's upcoming Volta GPUs. The two computers -- Summit, which will be built at Oak Ridge National Laboratory, and Sierra, built at Lawrence Livermore -- will have peak performance of around 150 petaflops when they're completed in 2017-2018.
